Transmission: Manual 6 Speed Color: Blue Avg. Vehicle Review:4.273 (43 reviews) "We love our Mini Countryman!!!!!! It is so fun to drive. The interior is so roomy and the trunk has enough room for our needs--beach chairs and umbrella! The seats are very comfortable too. My husband is 6'3" and he has plenty of room. I try to think of errands i can run each day just so I can drive it!"

Transmission: Automatic Color: Red Avg. Vehicle Review:4.25 (43 reviews) "My third Mini, the first two being hard tops. The Countryman is larger, sits higher and obviously has more cargo capacity. BUT it is just as fun as its little sibling. I have the S with a six speed, Harmon Kardon sound, HID headlights, rain sensing wipers and the split back seat (4 seater) instead of the bench back seat. I love the six speed but then again I loved the automatic in my hardtop S so I don't think you can go wrong either way. This car makes getting from A to B even if it is a long drive fun and it looks good doing it!"

Transmission: Manual 6 Speed Color: White Avg. Vehicle Review:4.273 (43 reviews) "I have had a Mini Cooper since 2006. I would never drive another vehicle. Mini just fits me as a driver and personality. The gas mileage is great, they are very roomy also! The maintenance is low. The only con is IF there is a major problem it is expensive as it is a foreign car."

Transmission: Manual 6 Speed Color: Blue Avg. Vehicle Review:4.25 (43 reviews) "Great fun! The All4 all wheel version is capable in snow and slick roads. I always feel safe. I have the manual transmission version and I love the fun shifting. The handling on this car is terrific and the pickup with the "S" trim line gives it the pep it needs for the larger "mini". It has a sport mode too in case you want a bit more zip out of the gears. My version came with a lot of extras(heated seats, mini connect technology package with navigation etc, ). it's all
laid out well interior is functional albeit quirky but a good quirky. Styling throughout is very modern and sleek. Car came looking new even though it was a year old. Mini dealership honored its 36,000 or 3Yr free maintenance (oil changes etc)! Would highly recommend it."

Transmission: Automatic Color: Blue Avg. Vehicle Review:4.273 (43 reviews) "Fun to drive, great gas mileage, lots of interior room despite size. On the minus side, the cup holders in the front absolutely STINK!!!!! bad placement, cup will turn on seat heater if you aren't careful, large cups just will not fit without a fight."

Transmission: Automatic Color: Brown Avg. Vehicle Review:0 (43 reviews) "I've always wanted something small, cute and especially my last name is Cooper so its a mini cooper driving a mini cooper... but beside that it drives very nice. I got a used mini cooper countryman from carmax instead of new and i'm looking at the experience as a test drive. I will definitely be purchasing a new mini countryman as this is a perfect fit for me. I've also wanted a sunroof and that it has, it drives smooth, the speedometer is a great talking piece as well."

Transmission: Automatic Color: Black Avg. Vehicle Review:4.25 (43 reviews) "This car is roomy, good hp, and great handling. I'm a big guy and have plenty of leg and body space. Really good get and go, love the paddle shifter on the steering wheel. And turns on a dime."

Transmission: Automatic Color: Gray Avg. Vehicle Review:0 (43 reviews) "This vehicle was clean with low miles (29k), but has had its issues. You never really know it's history other than how many owners and if it was in a wreck. Would be nice if you could get maintenance records. Mini's and maintenance is not cheap. So far has cost me lot of money and will be trading it in on something else. If you want a mini, buy new, sell when warranty is up!"
